Li Daitao

Maybe it's because leaning on the tree is not very comfortable, Qin Shu didn't sleep well, felt that he had a lot of disturbing dreams, and finally woke up by the rustling sound, but felt a faint headache, looked at the sky, still The sky was full of colorful clouds, he felt as if he had slept for a long time, but only a short time passed.

The rustling sound was Xu Ji dragging a large dead dry branch over.Drag it aside vigorously, and put it together with a pile of dry firewood that has already been piled up.

He was small and weak, his face was flushed, and he was slightly out of breath. When he turned his head and saw Qin Shu looking at him, he jumped up excitedly and rushed towards Qin Shu: "Look, Dad, I can work! "

Qin Shu knew his temper a long time ago, so he helped the little guy who threw himself into his arms, patted his head, and then praised him for being good.

Xu Ji was very satisfied. If he had a long tail, he would probably fly up to the sky at this moment. First, he laughed a few times, and circled around Qin Shu twice, after a little bit of excitement , then hugged Qin Shu's arm and sat down next to him.Although he felt a little tired, he didn't forget to whisper to Qin Shu: "Daddy, my father killed a rabbit and a pheasant. Let's roast the rabbit tonight."

Qin Shu said 'um' casually, but Xu Ji didn't care.He continued: "Rabbits have four legs, and each of us happens to have one leg. I want to eat the biggest one. But the pheasant only has two legs, so what should I do?" He tilted his head and thought: "Yes, the pheasant And two wings...two legs, two wings just right...Daddy, do you like wings or legs?"

Qin Shu rubbed his forehead and felt better at this moment. Hearing that his tone was a bit tangled, he smiled and asked him softly, "Then do you like legs or wings?"

"The roasted wings are delicious, but there are a lot of meat on the legs." Xu Ji was a little distressed and embarrassed, but in the end he said with a cheeky face: "I want wings, and I also want to eat chicken drumsticks..."

He was rather greedy.

If this child is not mischievous, he is very lovable just by looking at it. At this time, the frowning and distressed look makes people feel affectionate.As long as Yi Zhen is not in front of him, Qin Shu seems to be able to temporarily forget his identity, and instead be able to express his love for him a little bit.At this moment, he couldn't help smiling, and reached out to caress the center of his little brow.He smiled and said, "I'll give you the feet and wings."

"That won't work." Xu Ji was quite conscientious, obviously very tempted by this proposal, but in the end he shook his head resolutely, blushing and said: "Father said, I can't eat alone, I have to have a share, it's okay Understand……"

Just as he was talking, seeing Liang Xiao coming over with two bunches of mushrooms strung together with grass leaves, Xu Ji cheered up and shouted: "Mushrooms, pheasant stewed mushrooms!" He immediately forgot about the grilled chicken wings.

Qin Shu was entangled by Xu Ji and couldn't get up, so he waved to Liang Xiao and asked him to bring over the mushrooms to have a look, and he was relieved that they were all edible.Seeing some grass leaves on Liang Xiao's hair, Qin Shu took them off for him one by one.

This day's dinner was more flavorful than usual. Liang Xiao picked up wild vegetables and mushrooms and cooked a pot of soup. The game he brought was all roasted, and it was a meal with dry food.Xu Jitu was fresh, and he was really hungry, so he ate deliciously.

At night, he wrapped Qin Shu around to sleep together, leaving Yi Zhen to sleep alone in another place.

Both children had been riding a horse for a day, and although they had gotten used to it a lot, they still felt very tired.Xu Ji stretched his eyelids and pestered Qin Shu to read him a story, but before reading a few words, he fell asleep long ago.

The chirping and chirping of insects at night can be heard more clearly than during the day.Qin Shu waited for the two children to fall asleep, listened carefully to Yi Zhen's side, and then pulled out an arm that was under Xu Ji's little head, sat up and pressed his chest and coughed twice After lying down for a long time, he just felt like a fire was slowly roasting in his lungs.

This is a problem that has existed in the past, but it has become a little more serious recently. It is better during the day, but he can't help coughing at night. It's okay to live in a hotel. He and Yi Zhen have separate rooms, and no one can hinder the other. , the two children are sleeping very deeply, as long as he pays a little attention, he will not wake them up.

But right now in the wilderness, Yi Zhen is not far away from him.Loud noises would inevitably wake people up, but he subconsciously didn't want Yi Zhen to know.

Qin Shu looked over at Yi Zhen, and saw him lying on his side facing the fire with his eyes closed and not making any movement, so he quietly got out of the blanket and walked towards a direction far away from everyone. go.

When he felt that the distance was far enough, it was unlikely that this distance would alarm Yi Zhen again.As soon as he relaxed his mind, there was a burst of coughing, which made him bend over.

He was coughing so hard that he could hardly breathe, when he suddenly felt that a piece of clothing had fallen off his back, and then someone reached out and patted his back lightly twice.

Qin Shu didn't notice the sound of footsteps approaching just now, he just jumped for a while, and turned around suddenly, seeing that it was Yi Zhen, he couldn't help but want to have a fit.

This is already the edge of the fire's light, Yi Zhen's face was a little blurred by the flickering light, but he was able to see the real worry in Yi Zhen's eyes at a glance in such dim light. The clothes on his body are quite thick, blocking the rustling mountain wind, and conveying warm and sincere kindness.When it comes to the mouth, I can't help but suffocate.He froze for a moment, thinking that the darkness of night had covered up all the contradictions, and he was dizzy because of this, and felt that Yi Zhen seemed to be caring about himself without any purpose.

There was something strange in his heart suddenly, Qin Shu took a breath, and just said bitterly: "What are you doing here? There is no sound at all when you walk, don't you know it will scare people?"

"I didn't mean to scare you, I just saw you getting up alone in the middle of the night, I was worried, so I came over to take a look." Yi Zhen explained in a low voice, and then asked worriedly: "Are you okay?"

Qin Shu looked at him, then coughed lightly once or twice: "It's okay."

"When we get to the next town, it's better to find a doctor to take a look." Yi Zhen was obviously not at ease. "You are not in good health, so I shouldn't drag you this way..."

"This is an old problem. I always have a cough every spring and autumn. I don't need to see a doctor. I know my own body." Qin Shu was afraid that he would never stop blaming himself.It is said that everyone else has come here, so what if Yi Zhen regrets it.Seeing that Yi Zhen was about to speak, he hurriedly said: "No one is watching Xu Ji, he doesn't sleep well, he is afraid that he will roll into the fire."

As he said that, he turned around and walked back, wearing the coat that Yi Zhen brought over his body but didn't shake it off, and the corners of the clothes dangled with his walking.

Xu Ji's sleep was really dishonest. Even if he slept like a piglet, he could vaguely feel that his surroundings were empty. Although it was approaching summer, the mountain wind was still a bit cold at night.He subconsciously leaned towards the warm place, rubbing back and forth, rolling back and forth, and after a while, he moved his little head to lean against Liang Xiao's chest, feeling warm, and then snored lightheartedly. , but spread his whole body horizontally into a big character, occupying Qin Shu's original position.

Yi Zhen wanted to wake Xu Ji up, but was stopped by Qin Shu: "Let him sleep, I won't be able to fall asleep anyway, I can just lean there for a while, anyway, it will be dawn soon."

He looked at the two sleeping children for a while, took out a small medicine bottle from his luggage, and rubbed it on Xu Ji's neck and wrists.This is an ointment made by the locals to repel snakes and insects. It is extremely effective, but Xu Ji thinks it smells bad, so he twisted and refused to apply it when he was awake.At this time, when you are in a deep sleep, you can be at the mercy of others.After finishing it for Xu Ji, Qin Shu also applied some for Liang Xiao by the way.

Yi Zhen looked at it for a while, and then came to help.

After a while, everything was packed, and the two of them had nothing to do for a while. Yi Zhen wanted to give up his position to Qin Shu to sleep, but Qin Shu refused anyway. The two pushed back and forth, but neither of them would go Sleeping, looking at each other face to face.Suddenly, I heard a loud "guwa" from the boss, which was a bit like the cry of a frog, but it was obviously different from the frog cry I was used to. The sound was dull but loud.With this sound, there are such cries all around.

Yi Zhen was restless, and when he heard such a sound suddenly, he couldn't help being startled, and shivered visibly.

Qin Shu was also feeling a little embarrassed, but the cry of the frog just came out of the siege. Seeing that Yi Zhen seemed to be taken aback, he couldn't help being a little amused: "This is a kind of local mountain frog, that is, it is bigger and louder. Louder, what are you afraid of?"

Yi Zhen sneered and said, "I'm not afraid, it's just that I was suddenly taken aback."

"But I forgot that there is this thing in this season. It's so called, I'm afraid there will be a heavy rain tomorrow."

Yi Zhen looked up, the sky was full of stars, not even a cloud: "Looking at it like this, it doesn't look like there will be rain, right?"

"You'll find out tomorrow." Qin Shu seemed suddenly interested, added some firewood to the fire, and took a burning dry firewood as a torch, beckoning to Yi Zhen. "Come on, let's catch it."

Seeing him with a pleasant face, Yi Zhen walked behind him for a while in a daze, and then remembered to ask, "What are you doing here?"

Qin Shudao: "Snack."

Yi Zhen was startled: "Is this food edible?"

"Yeah." Qin Shu said without turning his head, "It's delicious." It sounded like how delicious it was.

It was rare for Yi Zhen to see him obsessed with something, so he stopped talking. Although he still had some doubts in his heart, he did his best when he caught the frog.

There is a small stream not far from them. These things are hidden in the grass by the water, but the sound is scary, but the size is only the size of a fist. As long as it is illuminated by the fire, it will immediately stop moving.

Qin Shu just held up the torch to light up, and asked Yi Zhen to push aside the grass to catch them one by one, and let Yi Zhen do the plucking and washing by the way.Yi Zhen looked at the weird-looking frog and muttered in his heart, but when he turned around, he saw Qin Shu with a casual smile on his face, very innocent and happy.

Yi Zhen was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he asked him to stand far away from the stream. Qin Shu also knew that there was something wrong with his health recently, so he didn't refuse his kindness, and stood a few steps away from the river, giving Yi Zhen held up the torch to illuminate the light. He was afraid that the light would not be enough, so he unconsciously raised his heels slightly.

Yi Zhen only felt that there was a little childishness in his actions, as if he had forgotten the many unhappiness, and the burden of suffering on his body was far away from him, and he felt relaxed for a while.

He felt a little sour in his heart, so he became more and more willing to do these things.Under Qin Shu's guidance, he picked some seemingly inconspicuous branches and leaves from the stream as accessories.Wipe the salt rack and put it on the fire to roast.

Yi Zhen was able to do these things well, so he arranged for Qin Shu to not intervene from the beginning to the end, and only let him watch from the sidelines.He was sweating from the work, but Qin Shu seemed to feel a little cold, pulled the blanket to wrap around his body, only showing a pair of dark and calm eyes, sitting opposite him and looking at him.

Yi Zhen raised his head occasionally, feeling that Qin Shu's eyes were a bit strange, a bit like the eyes that should be deeply remembered when he usually looks at the two children.Take a closer look, but it's just a pair of quiet eyes, and there's nothing inside.As if that look just now was just his illusion.

Before he had time to think about it, the aroma overflowed in a moment, and Qin Shu took out a small jar of rice wine from the package and put it in front of him.Under Qin Shu's unblinking gaze, he had no choice but to take a tentative taste, but he didn't think it was as weird as he imagined. Just drinking rice wine, it was very tender and sweet, and he had eaten several of them before he knew it.

There was a little pride in Qin Shu's expression.After eating one, he stopped eating. He tore off a few cattail leaves, picked out the fattest and largest ones, wrapped them carefully, and put them aside for the two children.Instead, he took a small sprinkle jar and sipped it slowly.

I don't know how many frogs suffered that night, and I don't remember who drank the last sip of wine.The two of them just talked in a normal way, and when they think about it again, they don't remember what each said.

When Yi Zhen woke up, he felt that something was pressing on one shoulder, and when he looked down, the two of them sat together at some point, Qin Shu was wrapped in a blanket, leaning his head slightly on his shoulder, and was sleeping soundly .The two were so close that he could almost clearly feel the warmth of Qin Shu's breath on his neck.You can see his skin as fine as white jade under his drooping eyelashes.

Yi Zhen froze, and then felt that his body was half-thawed, floating like in the clouds, and even his numb shoulders seemed to be numb.He didn't know how to explain Qin Shu if he woke up, but on the other hand, he wished that he could keep leaning on him, and he didn't even dare to take a breath for fear of disturbing Qin Shu. But he still looked at Qin Shu without blinking, as if he would suffer a great loss if he missed a glance.

He was also in a daze, and didn't realize that Xu Ji woke up at some point, so he walked a few steps away and stopped, looking at this and then that with bright eyes.

"Daddy..." Xu Ji called out in a soft voice, putting his two little hands behind his back, but twisting his body around, seeing Qin Shu's refusal, he went to look at Yi Zhen again. "Father, comb my hair..."

At this time, Yi Zhen only hated himself for raising such a winkless thing, but now he couldn't deal with him immediately, put the finger of the other hand up to his mouth, gave a 'shh', and said softly: " Let my brother help you."

Xu Ji let out an oh, followed his cautious manner, and tiptoed away.But before he could get out of Step C, the little guy turned his head back with a sad face, and chattered endlessly: "My brother combed his hair better than my father's, but not as good as my father's..."

Seeing Qin Shu, who was resting on his father's shoulder, move slightly, he immediately jumped forward cheering: "Daddy, are you awake? Look at the clothes I'm wearing! I didn't even ask my brother for help. I just waited for Daddy to comb my hair." Alright, brush your hair..."
